Chapter 11 – GOOSE Message Detection
2 DESCRIPTION
Digital channels can be associated with physical electrical digital inputs or associated to the detection of
IEC61850, GOOSE messages.
GOOSE messages are captured and filtered by one of the Ethernet interfaces installed at the
communications module. The state of the binary variables in the GOOSE message associated with digital
channels and can be included in trigger equations, and can be stored in the fault record, disturbance record,
and in the sequence of event (SOE) record.
The equipment can detect up to 320 binary inputs. The dataset types supported are:
Boolean data type (1 bit);
Bitstring data type (group of 64 bits);
Enumeration data type (compare with some value to create a Boolean state).
GOOSE messages can be filtered by VLAN, MAC addresses and by the application identifier.
The association between the GOOSE messages and digital channels is made using the GOOSE
Configurator, which is part of the RPVTools package. For details about the GOOSE Configurator
configuration see Chapter 12.
Note:
All the three rear Ethernet ports are capable of reading the GOOSE messages, although only one must be
used for GOOSE reading at a time.
